According to national regulations, if it is an operational vehicle, it is generally 8-10 years, or when the mileage reaches 300,000-400,000 kilometers, it is deemed as scrapped. Although there is no such regulation for private cars, the annual inspection is very strict. If the environmental protection standards are not met, it will also be deemed as scrapped. Even if it is on the road and checked by traffic police, it will be detained. Three Major Components of a Car: The three most important components of a car are the chassis, engine, and transmission. These three major components determine how long a car can be driven. If any one of these three major components has a problem, it will directly lead to a reduction in the car's lifespan. Everyone knows that a car is a consumable item. The longer it is driven, the more it depreciates. Moreover, after a car has been driven for a period of time, there will be various minor faults, such as increased fuel consumption, higher failure rate, and reduced driving safety coefficient, etc. According to Maintenance: Follow the car maintenance manual for maintenance and do not delay the maintenance cycle, as this ensures safer driving and greatly benefits the car's lifespan. Although maintaining a car is troublesome, it is undoubtedly an indispensable part of ensuring safety.

Does Prolonged Idling with Air Conditioning On Affect the Engine?

This can lead to incomplete combustion in the engine, increasing carbon deposits inside it. If the air conditioning is left on during prolonged idling, there is also a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning inside the vehicle, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, avoid keeping the engine and air conditioning running for extended periods, as it is harmful not only to the car but also to human health. Relevant information about idling is as follows: 1. Introduction One: Idling refers to the operation of the engine under no load, where it only needs to overcome the frictional resistance of its internal components without delivering power externally. The minimum speed required to maintain stable engine operation is called the idle speed, which is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine. 2. Introduction Two: When adjusting the idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly, as this can cause premature wear to the engine. If you rest in the car with the air conditioning on for a long time, especially in recirculation mode, the air quality inside the vehicle will become increasingly polluted, and harmful gases will gradually accumulate, posing risks to health and even life safety. Please exercise caution.

What happens if I accidentally drive into a bus lane?

Occupying a bus lane violates traffic regulations. The penalties for illegally occupying a bus lane are as follows: 1. Fine: Illegally occupying a bus lane will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Once a vehicle enters the bus lane during prohibited hours, it will be considered a violation. Some drivers may have a "gambling mentality," thinking they can avoid penalties by briefly entering the bus lane and then merging back into the normal lane before a traffic light. However, they may be caught by rear bus cameras or reported by the public. Therefore, it is essential to focus on driving according to the rules to avoid causing traffic congestion or accidents. 2. Criteria for determining violations: Violations are identified through the "electronic police system" with four clear photos of the license plate and the violation in progress. They can also be reported through the "public reporting platform," providing clear photos of the license plate and the violation for police verification, or captured by "front-facing bus cameras."
